Description

コンテンツ表示装置、コンテンツ表示プログラム、コンテンツ表示方法Content display device, content display program, and content display method
　本発明は、コンテンツの表示装置、表示プログラム、及び表示方法、より詳細には、電子書籍などの複数のページを有するコンテンツの表示装置、表示プログラム、及び表示方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a content display device, a display program, and a display method, and more particularly, to a content display device, a display program, and a display method having a plurality of pages such as an electronic book.
　従来、コンピュータや携帯電話、スマートフォン端末、タブレット端末など、種々の端末装置の普及に伴い、それらの端末装置を利用して様々なコンテンツを表示する技術が利用されている。 2. Description of the Related Art With the widespread use of various terminal devices such as computers, mobile phones, smartphone terminals, and tablet terminals, techniques for displaying various contents using these terminal devices have been used.
　昨今では、小説や漫画、雑誌など、多種多様な書籍が電子書籍として、上述したような端末装置によって閲覧可能に提供されている。 Nowadays, various books such as novels, comics, and magazines are provided as electronic books so that they can be browsed by the terminal device as described above.
　特に、多くのスマートフォン端末やタブレット端末、一部のコンピュータ、電子書籍の閲覧専用端末などは、ディスプレイ装置をユーザが指で触れることによって入力可能なタッチパネル装置を備えており、このような端末装置では、実際に本をめくるような動作によって、電子書籍のような複数ページを有するコンテンツを閲覧可能に構成されていることも多い。 In particular, many smartphone terminals, tablet terminals, some computers, electronic book viewing-only terminals, and the like include a touch panel device that allows a user to input a display device by touching the finger with a finger. In many cases, it is configured to be able to browse a content having a plurality of pages such as an electronic book by an operation of actually turning a book.
　多くの場合、コンテンツの情報は端末装置の有する補助記憶装置や、ネットワークや各種の入出力手段によって接続される外部記憶装置に保持されている。そして、このような補助記憶装置／外部記憶装置のデータ入出力速度は比較的低速であることが多い。そのため、ユーザからのページの移動指示があるごとに、表示対象ページを補助記憶装置／外部記憶装置から取得する構成とした場合には、ユーザの指示から実際にページが表示されるまでの処理時間が長く、ユーザが快適に電子書籍を閲覧することは難しい。 In many cases, content information is held in an auxiliary storage device of a terminal device or an external storage device connected by a network or various input / output means. The data input / output speed of such an auxiliary storage device / external storage device is often relatively low. For this reason, when the display target page is acquired from the auxiliary storage device / external storage device every time there is a page movement instruction from the user, the processing time until the page is actually displayed from the user instruction However, it is difficult for the user to browse the electronic book comfortably.
　そのため、一般的なコンテンツ表示装置においては、コンテンツに含まれる各ページの情報を予め読み込み、端末装置の有する主記憶装置上にそれらのページ情報を展開しておく。一般的には、主記憶装置は補助記憶装置や外部記憶装置と比較して非常に高速であるため、ページ情報を事前に主記憶装置上に展開しておけば、ユーザのページ移動指示から実際に移動先のページを表示するまでに要する処理時間も短く、ユーザは快適にコンテンツの閲覧を行うことができる。 Therefore, in a general content display device, information on each page included in the content is read in advance, and the page information is developed on the main storage device of the terminal device. Generally, the main storage device is much faster than the auxiliary storage device or the external storage device. Therefore, if the page information is expanded on the main storage device in advance, it will actually start from the page movement instruction of the user. The processing time required to display the destination page is short, and the user can comfortably browse the content.
　図８は、タッチパネル装置を備える端末装置を用いたコンテンツ表示装置による、複数のページを有するコンテンツの表示方法の一例として、右開き、全９ページのコンテンツを表示する場合を示す模式図である。前述の通り、補助記憶装置（あるいは外部記憶装置）より取得した当該コンテンツに含まれる各ページの情報を、予め主記憶装置上に展開する。 FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing a case of right-opening and displaying all nine pages of content as an example of a method of displaying content having a plurality of pages by a content display device using a terminal device including a touch panel device. As described above, information of each page included in the content acquired from the auxiliary storage device (or external storage device) is expanded in advance on the main storage device.
　図８（ａ）は、主記憶装置上に全ページ情報を展開した後に、２ページ目を電子書籍表示装置に表示している場合を示している。ここでは、実際に表示されている２ページ目以外のページ情報は、主記憶装置上に展開されている状態である。 FIG. 8A shows a case where the second page is displayed on the electronic book display device after all page information is expanded on the main storage device. Here, the page information other than the second page actually displayed is in a state of being developed on the main storage device.
　この状態で、次のページ（３ページ目）へ移動したい場合には、ユーザは図９に示すような操作を行う。まず、図９（ａ）に示すように、２ページ目が表示されているタッチパネル装置の、左側部分に指を触れる。 In this state, in order to move to the next page (third page), the user performs an operation as shown in FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 9A, a finger is touched to the left side portion of the touch panel device on which the second page is displayed.
　そして、図９（ｂ）に示すように、タッチパネル装置に指を触れたまま、画面をなぞるように右側へと指を動かす。そうすると、タッチパネル装置上の２ページ目の表示は指の動きに追従して右側へと移動してゆき、タッチパネル装置の左側より、３ページ目の表示が現れる。 Then, as shown in FIG. 9B, with the finger touching the touch panel device, the finger is moved to the right side while tracing the screen. Then, the display of the second page on the touch panel device moves to the right following the movement of the finger, and the display of the third page appears from the left side of the touch panel device.
　そして、そのまま指をタッチパネル装置の右側へとはらうように動かすことにより、図９（ｃ）に示すように、タッチパネル装置に３ページ目が表示された状態となる。このように、タッチパネル装置に指を触れ、特定の方向へ払うような入力方法を、一般にフリック入力と呼ぶ。図９に例示したように、左から右へとはらう動作による入力を右フリック入力、逆に右から左へとはらう動作による入力を左フリック入力と呼び、同様に、下から上へとはらう動作による入力を上フリック入力、逆に上から下へとはらう動作による入力を下フリックと呼ぶ。 Then, by moving the finger as it is to the right of the touch panel device, the third page is displayed on the touch panel device as shown in FIG. 9C. An input method in which a finger touches the touch panel device and pays in a specific direction is generally called flick input. As illustrated in FIG. 9, an input by an operation that works from left to right is called a right flick input, and an input by an operation that works from right to left is called a left flick input, and similarly, an operation that works from bottom to top. The input by the operation is called the upper flick input, and the input by the action of moving from the top to the bottom is called the lower flick.
　また、コンテンツ表示装置におけるページ移動指示の他の入力方法として、画面に軽く指を触れてすぐ離す、タップ入力が用いられることも多い。例えば、タッチパネル装置上に表示されたページの左側の縁の近傍に対するタップ入力で、左側のページへと移動する、同様に、右、上、下の縁の近傍に対するタップ入力によって、それぞれの方向のページへと移動するという形態でのページ移動指示である。 Also, as another input method of page movement instruction in the content display device, tap input is often used in which a finger is lightly touched and released immediately. For example, tap input for the vicinity of the left edge of the page displayed on the touch panel device moves to the left page. Similarly, tap input for the vicinity of the right, upper, and lower edges causes each direction. This is a page movement instruction in the form of moving to a page.
　図８（ｂ）は、図９に示した右フリック入力後に、３ページ目がコンテンツ表示装置に表示されている場合を示している。ここでは、図８（ａ）の状態から表示ページが３ページ目へと移動しているが、主記憶装置上においては、全てのページが読み込まれたままの状態である。 FIG. 8B shows a case where the third page is displayed on the content display device after the right flick input shown in FIG. Here, the display page has moved from the state of FIG. 8A to the third page, but all the pages are still read on the main storage device.
　ここでは、ユーザが右フリック入力を行い、現在表示しているページの次のページを表示する場合の動作を例として説明したが、ユーザが左フリック入力を行った場合には、同様の処理によって現在表示しているページの前のページの表示がなされる。また、右開きのコンテンツを例に挙げたが、左開きのコンテンツについても、左フリック入力によって次のページを、右フリック入力によって前のページを表示することで実施できる。 Here, the operation when the user performs a right flick input and displays the next page of the currently displayed page has been described as an example. However, when the user performs a left flick input, the same processing is performed. The page before the currently displayed page is displayed. In addition, the right-open content is taken as an example, but left-open content can also be implemented by displaying the next page by left flick input and the previous page by right flick input.
　このように、主記憶装置上にコンテンツに含まれる全てのページを展開した状態にしておくことで、ユーザによるページ移動指示から実際のページ表示までにかかる時間を短縮する技術が一般的に用いられている。 As described above, a technique for reducing the time taken from the page movement instruction by the user to the actual page display by keeping all the pages included in the content expanded on the main storage device is generally used. ing.
　また、電子書籍のようなコンテンツに対して、実際の本により近い扱いを行うための技術が多数公開されている。例えば、特許文献１には、ページの移動時に、図９に示したようなページの平行移動動作に代えて、紙をめくるような表示を行い、めくったページの裏側を表示することによって、実際の本をめくった場合により近い表示をユーザへと提供することを可能とする技術が公開されている。 In addition, many techniques for handling content such as electronic books closer to actual books have been released. For example, in Patent Document 1, when a page is moved, instead of the parallel movement operation of the page as shown in FIG. 9, a display such as turning the paper is performed, and the reverse side of the turned page is displayed. A technology that makes it possible to provide a display closer to the user when the book is turned over is disclosed.
　特許文献２には、電子書籍の内容と共に小口部分を表示し、小口部分に指を触れながら、その指をずらす、あるいは端末装置を傾けるといったような操作によって、パラパラと連続してページめくりを行う手段を提供し、実際の本に準じた操作を行うことを可能とする技術が公開されている。 In Patent Literature 2, a forehead portion is displayed together with the contents of an electronic book, and pages are continuously flipped by operations such as moving the finger or tilting the terminal device while touching the forehead portion with a finger. Techniques that provide means and enable operations according to actual books have been disclosed.

　先述したように、電子書籍のような複数のページを有するコンテンツについて、実際の本のような紙媒体と同様に扱うことを目的とした技術が多数公開されている。一方で、コンテンツ表示装置として用いるコンピュータやスマートフォン端末、タブレット端末などの端末装置による他の操作、例えばウェブブラウザソフトウェアによるＨＴＭＬファイルの閲覧や、電子メールクライアントによる電子メールの閲覧などにおいては、画面を縦にスクロールしながら閲覧を行う方法が一般的であり、電子書籍のようなコンテンツの表示装置のように、横方向にページをめくっていく動作とは操作方向が異なる。 As described above, a number of technologies aimed at handling content having a plurality of pages such as an electronic book in the same manner as a paper medium such as an actual book have been disclosed. On the other hand, in other operations by a terminal device such as a computer, a smartphone terminal, or a tablet terminal used as a content display device, for example, browsing an HTML file by web browser software or browsing an email by an email client, the screen is The method of browsing while scrolling is generally used, and the operation direction is different from the operation of turning a page in the horizontal direction as in a content display device such as an electronic book.
　また、コンテンツの内容についても、小説や漫画、雑誌など、多種多様なものがあり、右開きで表示することが好ましいもの、左開きで表示することが好ましいもの、あるいは上下方向に連続する形態で表示した方が好ましいものなど、様々である。更に、コンテンツ表示装置を使用する各ユーザの個人的嗜好まで考慮すれば、どのような方向にめくる形態でコンテンツを表示することが最も好ましいかということは、一概に言い切れることではない。 In addition, there are a variety of contents such as novels, comics, magazines, etc., which are preferably displayed with the right opening, preferably displayed with the left opening, or in a form that continues in the vertical direction. There are a variety of things that are better displayed. Furthermore, in consideration of the personal preference of each user who uses the content display device, it is not entirely possible to say in which direction the content is most preferably displayed.
　そこで、本発明では、複数のページを有するコンテンツの表示を、より柔軟に行うことができるコンテンツ表示装置を提供することを課題とする。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a content display device that can more flexibly display content having a plurality of pages.

　以下、本発明の一実施形態について、図面を参照して説明する。
　本実施形態は、電子書籍のような、複数のページを有するコンテンツを表示するコンテンツ表示装置、コンピュータ装置をコンテンツ表示装置として機能させるプログラム、及びコンテンツ表示装置によるコンテンツ表示方法に関する。より具体的には、ユーザが左右方向へのページめくりを行った場合と上下方向へのページめくりを行った場合、及びそれらのページめくり操作を複合的に行った場合においてもコンテンツの閲覧を行うことのできる、コンテンツ表示装置、プログラム、表示方法に関する。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The present embodiment relates to a content display device that displays content having a plurality of pages, such as an electronic book, a program that causes a computer device to function as a content display device, and a content display method using the content display device. More specifically, the content is browsed even when the user turns the page in the left-right direction, when turning the page in the up-down direction, and when the page turning operation is combined. The present invention relates to a content display device, a program, and a display method.
　図１の機能ブロック図に記載するように、本発明に係るコンテンツ表示装置１は、表示対象となるコンテンツ情報を保持するコンテンツ情報記憶部１４と、コンテンツの表示を行う際に当該コンテンツに含まれるページの情報を一時的に保持するページ情報一時記憶部１５と、ユーザから上下左右方向へのページ移動指示などの入力を受け付ける入力受付手段１１と、コンテンツに含まれるページの情報をページ情報一時記憶部へと記録し、管理するページ情報管理手段１２と、ページをユーザが閲覧可能に表示するページ表示手段１３と、を備える。 As shown in the functional block diagram of FIG. 1, the content display device 1 according to the present invention is included in the content information storage unit 14 that holds content information to be displayed and the content when the content is displayed. A page information temporary storage unit 15 that temporarily holds page information, an input receiving unit 11 that receives an input of a page movement instruction in the vertical and horizontal directions from the user, and a page information temporary storage of page information included in the content A page information management unit 12 that records and manages the page, and a page display unit 13 that displays the page so that the user can view the page.
　なお、コンテンツ表示装置１には、ＣＰＵ（Ｃｅｎｔｒａｌ　Ｐｒｏｃｅｓｓｉｎｇ　Ｕｎｉｔ）などの演算装置、ＲＡＭ（Ｒａｎｄａｍ　Ａｃｃｅｓｓ　Ｍｅｍｏｒｙ）などの主記憶装置、ＨＤＤ（Ｈａｒｄ　Ｄｉｓｃ　Ｄｒｉｖｅ）やＳＳＤ（Ｓｏｌｉｄ　Ｓｔａｔｅ　Ｄｒｉｖｅ）、フラッシュメモリなどの補助記憶装置、液晶ディスプレイや有機ＥＬディスプレイ、電子ペーパーなどの出力装置、タッチパネルやボタン、キーボードなど入力装置を備える、デスクトップ／ノートパソコン、スマートフォン端末、タブレット端末などのようなコンピュータ装置を用いる。より具体的には、コンテンツ表示を行うためのプログラムをコンピュータ装置の補助記憶装置上に記録しておき、必要に応じて当該プログラムを主記憶装置上に展開し、演算装置による処理を行う。また、先述のコンピュータ装置と同様の構成を備えるコンテンツ表示の専用端末装置の形態としてもよい。 The content display device 1 includes an arithmetic device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a main storage device such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), an HDD (Hard Disc Drive), an SSD (Solid State Drive), and a flash memory. A computer device such as an auxiliary storage device, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, an output device such as electronic paper, an input device such as a touch panel, a button, or a keyboard, such as a desktop / notebook computer, a smartphone terminal, or a tablet terminal is used. More specifically, a program for displaying content is recorded on the auxiliary storage device of the computer device, the program is expanded on the main storage device as necessary, and the processing by the arithmetic device is performed. Moreover, it is good also as a form of the terminal terminal for content display provided with the structure similar to the above-mentioned computer apparatus.
　また、インターネットやＬＡＮ（Ｌｏｃａｌ　Ａｒｅａ　Ｎｅｔｗｏｒｋ）などのネットワークを経由して、あるいはＵＳＢ（Ｕｎｉｖｅｒｓａｌ　Ｓｅｒｉａｌ　Ｂｕｓ）などのシリアルバス規格を用いて通信可能な外部記憶装置や、ＳＤカードのような着脱可能な外部記憶装置などより、コンテンツを取得する手段を備える構成としてもよい。 In addition, an external storage device that can communicate via a network such as the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network) or using a serial bus standard such as USB (Universal Serial Bus), or a removable external device such as an SD card. It is good also as a structure provided with the means to acquire content from a memory | storage device etc.
　なお、コンテンツ表示プログラムは、先述したような種々のコンピュータ装置上で動作するＯＳ（Ｏｐｅｒａｔｉｎｇ　Ｓｙｓｔｅｍ）上で動作するアプリケーションプログラムとして提供されることが好ましい。例えば、コンピュータ装置としてスマートフォン端末装置やタブレット型端末装置などの携帯型端末装置を用いる場合であれば、Ａｐｐｌｅ（登録商標）社のｉＯＳ、Ｇｏｏｇｌｅ（登録商標）社のＡｎｄｒｏｉｄ（登録商標）などのＯＳ上で動作するアプリケーションプログラムとして本実施形態に係るコンテンツ表示プログラムを提供し、それをＯＳ上で動作させることにより、コンピュータ装置をコンテンツ表示装置として利用することができる。 Note that the content display program is preferably provided as an application program operating on an OS (Operating System) operating on various computer devices as described above. For example, when a portable terminal device such as a smart phone terminal device or a tablet terminal device is used as the computer device, an OS such as an Apple (registered trademark) OS or an Android (registered trademark) OS such as Apple (registered trademark). By providing the content display program according to the present embodiment as an application program that operates above and operating it on the OS, a computer device can be used as a content display device.
　本実施形態において、入力受付手段１１には、タッチパネル装置を用いる。そして、ユーザから受け付ける入力方法は、図９に示すような、タッチパネル装置に指を触れ、その指を特定の方向にはらうように動かす、フリック入力である。例えば、指をタッチパネル装置に触れ、右方向にはらうように動かす入力を、右フリック入力と呼ぶ。同様に、左方向にはらうように動かす入力を左フリック入力、上方向にはらうように動かす入力を上フリック入力、下方向にはらうように動かす入力を下フリック入力と呼ぶ。このような、上下左右の任意の方向へのフリック入力をユーザより受け、それをユーザによるコンテンツのページ移動の指示として用いる。 In this embodiment, a touch panel device is used as the input receiving means 11. And the input method received from a user is a flick input which touches a touch panel apparatus as shown in FIG. 9, and moves the finger so that it may hold in a specific direction. For example, an input in which a finger touches the touch panel device and moves it in the right direction is called a right flick input. Similarly, an input that moves in the left direction is called a left flick input, an input that moves in the upward direction is called an upper flick input, and an input that moves in the downward direction is called a lower flick input. Such a flick input in any direction, up, down, left, and right is received from the user, and this is used as an instruction to move the content page by the user.
　また、他の入力方法を用いてもよい。例えば、タッチパネル装置に軽く指を触れてすぐに離すタップ入力を、タッチパネル装置の上下左右の任意の端部の近傍に受けることにより、対応する方向へのページ移動指示の入力として受け付ける、あるいはタッチパネル装置に指を触れたまま任意の方向へと指を移動するスワイプ入力をページ移動指示の入力として受け付けるような構成としてもよい。 Also, other input methods may be used. For example, by accepting a tap input to lightly touch the touch panel device and immediately release it in the vicinity of an arbitrary top, bottom, left, or right end of the touch panel device, it is accepted as an input of a page movement instruction in the corresponding direction, or the touch panel device Alternatively, a swipe input for moving a finger in an arbitrary direction while touching the finger may be accepted as an input of a page movement instruction.
　更に、タッチパネル装置以外にボタンやキーボードなどの入力装置を備えるコンピュータ装置を用いて、それらのボタンやキーボードの入力をページ移動指示の入力として受け付けるような構成としてもよい。 Furthermore, a configuration may be adopted in which a computer device including an input device such as a button or a keyboard is used in addition to the touch panel device, and the input of the button or the keyboard is received as an input of a page movement instruction.
　本実施形態において、コンテンツ情報記憶部１４は、補助記憶装置を用いて実現する。例えば、電子書籍などのファイル形式として広く普及しているｅｐｕｂ形式や、電子文書のファイル形式として広く普及しているＰＤＦ形式、あるいはｊｐｅｇ形式やｐｎｇ形式などの形式の画像ファイルの集合など、任意の形態にて、補助記憶装置に各コンテンツの有する複数のページ情報を記憶する。なお、補助記憶装置に加えて、あるいは補助記憶装置に代えて、先述したような外部記憶装置をコンテンツ情報記憶部１４として用いる構成としてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the content information storage unit 14 is realized using an auxiliary storage device. For example, an arbitrary format such as an epub format widely used as a file format of an electronic book, a PDF format widely used as a file format of an electronic document, or a set of image files in a format such as a jpeg format or a png format. In the form, a plurality of page information of each content is stored in the auxiliary storage device. In addition to the auxiliary storage device or in place of the auxiliary storage device, an external storage device as described above may be used as the content information storage unit 14.
　ページ情報一時記憶部１５は、主記憶装置を用いて実現する。コンピュータ装置が備えるＲＡＭなどの主記憶装置は、一般的には、補助記憶装置や外部記憶装置と比較して、非常に高速な入出力が可能である。そのため、コンテンツの表示を行う際に、ページ情報管理手段１２を用い、コンテンツ情報記憶部１４から当該コンテンツに含まれるページ情報をページ情報一時記憶部１５へと記録しておくことで、ページ表示手段１３は表示するページの情報を高速に取得することができる。 The page information temporary storage unit 15 is realized using a main storage device. In general, a main storage device such as a RAM provided in a computer device can input / output at a very high speed as compared with an auxiliary storage device or an external storage device. Therefore, when displaying the content, the page information management unit 12 is used to record the page information included in the content from the content information storage unit 14 into the page information temporary storage unit 15, thereby displaying the page display unit. 13 can acquire information of a page to be displayed at high speed.
　ページ表示手段１３には、液晶ディスプレイ装置や有機ＥＬディスプレイ装置、電子ペーパー装置のような、ディスプレイ装置を用いる。そして、先述したように、入力手段１１として利用可能なタッチパネル装置を備えることが好ましい。 For the page display means 13, a display device such as a liquid crystal display device, an organic EL display device, or an electronic paper device is used. As described above, it is preferable to include a touch panel device that can be used as the input unit 11.
　続いて、図４に示すフローチャートを参照して、コンテンツ表示装置１によるコンテンツの表示、及びユーザの指示に基づいたページ移動処理を説明する。 Subsequently, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 4, the display of content by the content display device 1 and the page movement process based on the user's instruction will be described.
　ユーザより選択を受け付けるなど、任意の方法で表示対象とするコンテンツを特定した後に、まずステップＳ１１にて、初期ページを表示する。ここでは、例えば、常にコンテンツの１ページ目を表示する、以前に表示したコンテンツであれば最後に表示したページを表示するなど、任意の方法によって特定される初期ページの表示を行う。 After specifying content to be displayed by an arbitrary method such as accepting selection from the user, an initial page is first displayed in step S11. Here, for example, the initial page specified by an arbitrary method is displayed such that the first page of the content is always displayed, or if the content has been previously displayed, the last displayed page is displayed.
　図５は、初期ページの表示処理を示すフローチャートである。これを参照して、図２に例示するような、全９ページを有する右開きのコンテンツについて、初期ページを２ページ目とした場合の表示処理について説明する。 FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the initial page display process. With reference to this, display processing when the initial page is the second page for right-open content having nine pages as illustrated in FIG. 2 will be described.
　まず、ステップＳ２１において、ページ情報管理手段１２により、コンテンツに含まれるページを左右方向に移動した際に表示に用いるための左右方向のページ情報配列を生成し、ページ情報一時記憶部１５へと記録する。これは、図２において一点鎖線によって示した領域Ａに含まれるページ情報の配列を生成し、ページ情報一時記憶部１５へと記録する処理である。より具体的な例を挙げれば、全９ページのページ情報の配列を生成し、そのスクロール方向を左右方向に設定することによって実現できる。なお、ここで、説明の簡単のために、左右方向のページ情報配列に含まれる各ページ情報を、１ページ目から順に、ｈ１、ｈ２・・・ｈ９とする。 First, in step S21, the page information management unit 12 generates a page information array in the horizontal direction to be used for display when the page included in the content is moved in the horizontal direction, and records it in the page information temporary storage unit 15. To do. This is a process of generating an array of page information included in the region A indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 2 and recording it in the page information temporary storage unit 15. As a more specific example, this can be realized by generating an array of page information of all nine pages and setting the scroll direction to the left-right direction. Here, for simplicity of explanation, each page information included in the page information array in the left-right direction is assumed to be h1, h2,... H9 in order from the first page.
　そして、ステップＳ２２で、ステップＳ２１で生成した左右方向のページ情報配列中における、初期ページの位置情報を設定し、ページ情報一時記憶部１５へと記録する。図２に示す例では、初期ページが２ページ目なので、ここでは左右方向の位置情報としてｈ２を設定する。 In step S22, the position information of the initial page in the horizontal page information array generated in step S21 is set and recorded in the page information temporary storage unit 15. In the example shown in FIG. 2, since the initial page is the second page, h2 is set as the position information in the left-right direction here.
　ステップＳ２３では、ステップＳ２１で生成した左右方向のページ情報配列から、ステップＳ２２で設定した左右方向の位置情報に基づいてページ情報、すなわち図２中にｈ２と示すページ情報の取得を行い、ページ表示手段１３による表示を行う。 In step S23, page information, that is, page information indicated by h2 in FIG. 2 is acquired from the horizontal page information array generated in step S21 based on the horizontal position information set in step S22. Display by means 13 is performed.
　そして、本発明に係るコンテンツ表示装置１では、左右方向へのページ移動に加え、上下方向へのページ移動を可能とするために、図２において二点鎖線によって示す領域Ｂに含まれるような、コンテンツに含まれるページを上下方向に移動した際に表示に用いるための上下方向のページ情報配列の生成、及びページ情報一時記憶部１５への記録を、ステップＳ２４で行う。より具体的な例を挙げれば、全９ページのページ情報の配列を生成し、そのスクロール方向を上下方向に設定することによって実現できる。なお、ここで、説明の簡単のために、上下方向のページ情報配列に含まれる各ページ情報を、１ページ目から順に、ｖ１、ｖ２・・・ｖ９とする。 And in the content display apparatus 1 which concerns on this invention, in order to enable the page movement to an up-down direction in addition to the page movement to the left-right direction, as contained in the area | region B shown with a dashed-two dotted line in FIG. In step S24, generation of a page information array in the vertical direction for use in display when a page included in the content is moved in the vertical direction and recording in the page information temporary storage unit 15 are performed. To give a more specific example, this can be realized by generating an array of page information for all nine pages and setting the scroll direction to the vertical direction. Here, for simplicity of explanation, each page information included in the page information array in the vertical direction is assumed to be v1, v2,... V9 in order from the first page.
　ステップＳ２５では、ステップＳ２４で生成した上下方向のページ情報配列中における初期表示ページの位置情報を設定し、ページ情報一時記憶部１５へと記録する。図２に示す例では、初期ページが２ページ目なので、ここでは上下方向の位置情報としてｖ２を設定する。 In step S25, the position information of the initial display page in the vertical page information array generated in step S24 is set and recorded in the page information temporary storage unit 15. In the example shown in FIG. 2, since the initial page is the second page, v2 is set as the vertical position information here.
　以上の処理によって、図２のように、表示対象のページをマトリクス状に配置した状態を考えた場合に、表示中のページ（２ページ目）を含む行に含まれる全ページの情報（領域Ａ）、及び表示中のページを含む列に含まれる全ページの情報（領域Ｂ）を、ページ情報一時記憶部１５へと読み込む。 With the above processing, when considering a state where pages to be displayed are arranged in a matrix as shown in FIG. 2, information (area A) of all pages included in a row including the currently displayed page (second page). ) And information (area B) of all pages included in the column including the page being displayed is read into the page information temporary storage unit 15.
　なお、先に述べたように、本実施形態においては、ユーザが左右方向と上下方向のどちらの方向へページめくり操作を行った場合においてもコンテンツを表示することのできる装置、プログラム、方法を示す。すなわち、ステップＳ２１にて生成した左右方向のページ情報配列とステップＳ２４で生成した上下方向のページ情報配列とは同一のページ情報を含む配列について、そのスクロール方向をそれぞれ左右と上下に設定したものである。そのため、ｈ１とｖ１、ｈ２とｖ２、・・・ｈ９とｖ９とは、それぞれ同内容のページ情報となっている。 As described above, in the present embodiment, an apparatus, a program, and a method that can display content when a user performs a page turning operation in either the left-right direction or the up-down direction are shown. . That is, the page information array in the left and right direction generated in step S21 and the page information array in the up and down direction generated in step S24 are the same in the scroll direction for the array including the page information. is there. Therefore, h1 and v1, h2 and v2,... H9 and v9 are page information having the same content.
　これにより、ユーザが入力手段１１によって左右方向のページ移動指示と上下方向のページ移動指示のどちらの方向のページ移動指示を行った場合においても、ページ情報一時記憶部１５より移動先のページ情報を取得することができるため、移動先のページを高速に表示することができる。 As a result, even when the user issues a page movement instruction in either the left or right page movement instruction or the vertical page movement instruction by the input unit 11, the page information of the movement destination is stored in the page information temporary storage unit 15. Since it can be acquired, the destination page can be displayed at high speed.
　また、先述したように、本実施形態に係るコンテンツ表示プログラムをコンピュータ装置のＯＳ上で動作するアプリケーションプログラムとして提供する場合においては、左右及び上下方向のそれぞれのスクロール方向を設定したページ情報配列の生成を、Ａｐｐｌｅ社やＧｏｏｇｌｅ社といった各ＯＳのベンダ、あるいは他の開発者などから提供される、フレームワークやＡＰＩ（Ａｐｐｌｉｃａｔｉｏｎ　Ｐｒｏｇｒａｍｉｎｇ　Ｉｎｔｅｒｆａｃｅ）といった、再利用可能なプログラム群を利用して実現することができる。すなわち、種々のＯＳにおいて、画面表示の実装における各アプリケーション開発者の負担を減らすために、複数のページ情報を含む配列の作成を行い、それにスクロール方向を指定することによって、アプリケーションによる表示画面を実装することのできるフレームワークやＡＰＩなどが提供されることが多く、これを利用し、同一のページ情報を含む２つの配列を生成し、それぞれに左右方向、上下方向のスクロール方向を設定することにより、本実施形態において示した左右方向へのページめくりに用いるページ情報配列と、上下方向へのページめくりに用いるページ情報配列を生成することができる。 Further, as described above, when the content display program according to the present embodiment is provided as an application program that runs on the OS of the computer device, generation of page information arrays in which the left, right, and up and down scroll directions are set. Can be realized using reusable programs such as frameworks and APIs (Application Programming Interface) provided by vendors of OSs such as Apple and Google, or other developers. . In other words, in various OSs, in order to reduce the burden on each application developer in the implementation of screen display, an application display screen is implemented by creating an array containing multiple page information and specifying the scroll direction to it. Frameworks and APIs that can be used are often provided. By using this, two arrays containing the same page information are generated, and the scroll direction is set to the horizontal and vertical directions respectively. The page information array used for turning pages in the left-right direction and the page information array used for turning pages in the up-down direction shown in this embodiment can be generated.
　なお、図２中に破線で示したその他のページについても予めページ情報一時記憶部１５へと読み込んでおけば、ユーザが左右方向と上下方向を組み合わせたページ移動指示を順次行った場合においても、各ページを高速に表示することができる。しかし、そのような構成とするには、非常に大きな容量のページ情報一時記憶部１５、すなわち大容量の主記憶装置が必要となる。更に、上下左右移動によって移動し得る範囲は実際には無限に広がるため、その範囲に含まれる全てのページ情報を予め読み込むことは実質的に不可能である。 If other pages indicated by broken lines in FIG. 2 are also read into the page information temporary storage unit 15 in advance, even when the user sequentially issues a page movement instruction that combines the horizontal and vertical directions, Each page can be displayed at high speed. However, such a configuration requires a very large page information temporary storage unit 15, that is, a large-capacity main storage device. Furthermore, since the range that can be moved by moving up, down, left, and right is actually infinite, it is practically impossible to read in advance all the page information included in the range.
　そのため、先に述べたように、表示中のページを含む行及び列に属するページ情報のみを予め読み込んでおき、ページ情報一時記憶部１５の使用容量を抑えながらも、上下左右移動後のページの表示を高速に行うことが可能な構成としている。 For this reason, as described above, only the page information belonging to the row and column including the currently displayed page is read in advance, and the used capacity of the page information temporary storage unit 15 is reduced, and the page of the page after the up / down / left / right movement is reduced. The display can be displayed at high speed.
　ステップＳ１１において初期ページの表示を行った後に、ステップＳ１２において、ユーザからのページ移動指示の入力を受け付ける。先に述べたように、本実施形態においては、ユーザからの特定方向へのフリック入力によるページ移動の指示を受け付ける。 After displaying the initial page in step S11, in step S12, an input of a page movement instruction from the user is accepted. As described above, in this embodiment, an instruction to move the page by a flick input in a specific direction from the user is accepted.
　ここで、右フリック入力を検知した場合には、ステップＳ１３に進み、左右方向への移動による次ページの表示を行う。 Here, when a right flick input is detected, the process proceeds to step S13, and the next page is displayed by moving in the left-right direction.
　図６（ａ）は、左右方向へのページ移動後のページの表示を行う処理を示すフローチャートである。これを参照して、図２に示したように、右開きのコンテンツについて、初期ページとして２ページ目を表示している状態において右フリック入力を受けた場合に、現在表示中のページの左側に位置する３ページ目（ｈ３）の表示を行う処理を説明する。 FIG. 6A is a flowchart showing processing for displaying a page after moving the page in the left-right direction. With reference to this, as shown in FIG. 2, when a right-flick input is received in a state where the second page is displayed as the initial page for the right-open content, it is displayed on the left side of the currently displayed page. A process of displaying the third page (h3) that is positioned will be described.
　まず、ステップＳ３１において、左右方向の位置情報の更新処理を行う。ここでは、２ページ目を表示していた状態より右フリック入力を受けたため、左右方向の位置情報を一つ先のページへ、すなわち、図２において左方向に位置するｈ３へと更新する。そして、ステップＳ３２で、左右方向のページ情報配列より、更新後の左右方向の位置情報（ｈ３）を参照し、ページ表示手段１３による表示を行う。 First, in step S31, the position information in the left-right direction is updated. Here, since the right flick input is received from the state in which the second page is displayed, the position information in the left-right direction is updated to the next page, that is, h3 located in the left direction in FIG. In step S32, the page display means 13 performs display by referring to the updated horizontal position information (h3) from the horizontal page information array.
　ステップＳ３１、Ｓ３２の処理によって移動後のページの表示を行ったが、このままでは、上下方向のページ情報配列中における位置情報はｖ２のままであり、左右方向と上下方向とで、表示中のページの情報に齟齬が出てしまう。そのため、ステップＳ３３において、上下方向の位置情報についても一つ先のページへ、すなわち、図２において下方向に位置するｖ３へと更新する。 Although the page after the movement is displayed by the processing of steps S31 and S32, the position information in the page information array in the vertical direction remains v2 as it is, and the page being displayed in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction remains unchanged. A trap appears in the information. Therefore, in step S33, the position information in the vertical direction is also updated to the next page, that is, v3 positioned in the downward direction in FIG.
　以上の処理により、図３に模式図を示すように、表示中のページを３ページ目へと移動し、そして、左右方向のページ情報配列と上下方向のページ情報配列との間の整合性がとれた状態となる。 With the above processing, as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. 3, the page being displayed is moved to the third page, and the consistency between the page information arrangement in the horizontal direction and the page information arrangement in the vertical direction is maintained. It will be in a state of being removed.
　このように、表示ページの移動に伴って、ページ情報一時記憶部１５の保持する左右方向及び上下方向のそれぞれのページ情報配列中における、現在表示中のページの位置情報を更新することにより、ページ情報一時記憶部１５上における使用領域を、表示対象のコンテンツのページ数の２倍のページ分に抑えることができる。 In this way, as the display page is moved, the position information of the currently displayed page is updated in each of the left and right page information arrays held in the page information temporary storage unit 15, thereby The used area on the information temporary storage unit 15 can be reduced to a page that is twice the number of pages of content to be displayed.
　ステップＳ１３におけるページ移動処理の終了後には、ステップＳ１２に戻り、再びユーザからのページ移動指示の入力を受け付ける。 After completion of the page movement process in step S13, the process returns to step S12 and receives an input of a page movement instruction from the user again.
　ステップＳ１２において左フリック入力を検知した場合には、ステップＳ１４に進み、ステップＳ１３における処理とは逆の方向に表示中のページを移動し、図６（ａ）に示した処理に従って、ページ情報一時記憶部１５の保持する左右方向及び上下方向のページ情報配列中における位置情報の更新を行い、再びステップＳ１２に戻る。 When the left flick input is detected in step S12, the process proceeds to step S14, the page being displayed is moved in the opposite direction to the process in step S13, and the page information is temporarily stored in accordance with the process shown in FIG. The position information in the left and right and up and down page information arrays held in the storage unit 15 is updated, and the process returns to step S12 again.
　ステップＳ１２において、上フリック入力が検知された場合には、ステップＳ１５に進み、上下方向の移動による次のページの表示処理を行う。 In step S12, if an upper flick input is detected, the process proceeds to step S15, and the next page is displayed by moving up and down.
　図６（ｂ）は、上下方向へのページ移動後のページの表示を行う処理を示すフローチャートである。これを参照して、図２に示したように、右開きのコンテンツについて、初期ページとして２ページ目を表示している状態において上フリック入力を受けた場合に、現在表示中のページの下側に位置する３ページ目（ｖ３）の表示を行う処理を説明する。 FIG. 6B is a flowchart showing processing for displaying a page after moving the page in the vertical direction. Referring to this, as shown in FIG. 2, when an upper flick input is received in the state where the second page is displayed as the initial page for the right-open content, the lower side of the currently displayed page A process for displaying the third page (v3) positioned at the position will be described.
　まず、ステップＳ４１において、上下方向の位置情報の更新処理を行う。ここでは、２ページ目を表示していた状態より上フリック入力を受けたため、上下方向の位置情報を一つ先のページへ、すなわち、図２において下方向に位置するｖ３へと更新する。そして、ステップＳ４２で、上下方向のページ情報配列より、更新後の上下方向の位置情報（ｖ３）を参照し、ページ表示手段１３による表示を行う。 First, in step S41, the position information in the vertical direction is updated. Here, since the upper flick input is received from the state in which the second page is displayed, the position information in the vertical direction is updated to the next page, that is, v3 positioned in the downward direction in FIG. In step S42, the updated page position information (v3) is referred to from the page information array in the vertical direction, and the page display means 13 performs display.
　ステップＳ４１、Ｓ４２の処理によって移動後のページの表示を行ったが、このままでは、左右方向のページ情報配列中における位置情報はｈ２のままであり、左右方向と上下方向とで、表示中のページの情報に齟齬が出てしまう。そのため、ステップＳ４３において、左右方向の位置情報についても一つ先のページへ、すなわち、図２において左方向に位置するｈ３へと更新する。 Although the page after movement is displayed by the processing of steps S41 and S42, if it remains as it is, the position information in the page information arrangement in the left and right direction remains h2, and the page being displayed in the left and right direction and the vertical direction is displayed. A trap appears in the information. Therefore, in step S43, the position information in the left-right direction is also updated to the next page, that is, h3 located in the left direction in FIG.
　以上の処理により、図３に模式図を示すように、先に説明した右フリックによる左右移動でのページ移動後と同様の、３ページ目を表示している状態となる。 With the above processing, as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. 3, the third page is displayed, which is the same as that after the page movement by the right / left movement described above.
　ステップＳ１３におけるページ移動処理の終了後には、ステップＳ１２に戻り、再びユーザからのページ移動指示の入力を受け付ける。 After completion of the page movement process in step S13, the process returns to step S12 and receives an input of a page movement instruction from the user again.
　ステップＳ１２において上フリック入力を検知した場合には、ステップＳ１６に進み、ステップＳ１５における処理とは逆の方向に、表示中のページを移動し、図６（ｂ）に示した処理に従って、ページ情報一時記憶部１５の保持する左右方向及び上下方向のページ情報配列中における位置情報の更新を行い、再びステップＳ１２に戻る。 If an upper flick input is detected in step S12, the process proceeds to step S16, the page being displayed is moved in the opposite direction to the process in step S15, and the page information is displayed according to the process shown in FIG. The position information in the page information array in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction held by the temporary storage unit 15 is updated, and the process returns to step S12 again.
　このように、上下方向の移動についても、左右方向と同様、移動後のページの表示処理、ページ情報一時記憶部１５の保持する左右方向及び上下方向のそれぞれのページ情報配列中における、現在表示中のページの位置情報の更新処理を行う。 As described above, as for the movement in the up / down direction, as in the left / right direction, the display processing of the page after movement, the currently displayed page information array in the left / right direction and the up / down direction held by the page information temporary storage unit 15 are currently being displayed. The position information of the page is updated.
　また、本発明に係るコンテンツ表示装置１によるページ移動処理についても、図９を用いて説明したように、ページが経過的に切り替わるような表示とすることが好ましい。例えば、右フリック入力による２ページ目から３ページ目へのページ移動を受け付ける場合には、図９に示すように、フリック入力動作に合わせて２ページ目の右端が、コンテンツ表示装置１の右側の画面外に移動していき、左側の画面外より、移動先である３ページ目の右端が表示され始める、といった表示である。このような構成とするためには、左右方向における位置情報の更新を確定する前に移動方向に存在するページ情報の参照を可能としておき、フリック入力動作が完了する前に指が離された、あるいは途中で指の移動方向が変わったなど、フリック入力動作が中止された場合には、ページの移動と、左右方向及び上下方向の位置情報の更新を行わない構成とすればよい。 Also, the page moving process by the content display device 1 according to the present invention is preferably displayed so that the pages are changed over time as described with reference to FIG. For example, when a page movement from the second page to the third page by right flick input is accepted, the right end of the second page is on the right side of the content display device 1 in accordance with the flick input operation, as shown in FIG. The screen moves to the outside of the screen, and the right edge of the third page, which is the movement destination, starts to be displayed from the outside of the left screen. In order to make such a configuration, it is possible to refer to the page information existing in the moving direction before confirming the update of the position information in the left-right direction, and the finger is released before the flick input operation is completed. Alternatively, when the flick input operation is interrupted, for example, when the finger movement direction is changed halfway, the page movement and the position information in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction may not be updated.
　上下方向へのページ移動についても同様である。例えば、上フリック入力による２ページ目から３ページ目へのページ移動を受け付ける場合には、図１０に示すように、フリック入力動作に合わせて２ページ目の上端が、コンテンツ表示装置１の上側の画面外に移動していき、下側の画面外より、移動先である３ページ目の上端が表示され始める、といった表示である。このような構成とするためには、上下方向における位置情報の更新を確定する前に移動方向に存在するページ情報の参照を可能としておき、フリック入力動作が完了する前に指が離された、あるいは途中で指の移動方向が変わったなど、フリック入力動作が中止された場合には、ページの移動と、上下方向及び左右方向の位置情報の更新を行わない構成とすればよい。 The same applies to page movement in the vertical direction. For example, when page movement from the second page to the third page by the upper flick input is accepted, the upper end of the second page is located on the upper side of the content display device 1 in accordance with the flick input operation as shown in FIG. The screen moves to the outside of the screen, and the upper end of the third page, which is the movement destination, starts to be displayed from the outside of the lower screen. In order to make such a configuration, it is possible to refer to the page information existing in the moving direction before confirming the update of the position information in the vertical direction, and the finger is released before the flick input operation is completed. Alternatively, when the flick input operation is stopped, for example, when the finger movement direction is changed halfway, the page movement and the position information in the vertical and horizontal directions may not be updated.
　このように、左右方向及び上下方向へページをめくる際にその経過を表示する構成とすれば、ユーザへと入力のフィードバックを的確に示すことができる。特に本発明に係るコンテンツ表示装置１は、左右移動に加えて上下移動を可能としているため、ユーザが左右方向へのフリック入力を意図した動作を行ったが、ユーザの入力動作の不備、あるいは入力受付手段１１の誤検知などにより、上下方向へのフリック入力として検知されてしまった、といったような誤操作を、ユーザは正確に認知することができる。 In this way, if the configuration is such that the progress is displayed when turning the page in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, feedback of input can be accurately shown to the user. In particular, since the content display apparatus 1 according to the present invention can move up and down in addition to moving left and right, the user performed an operation intended for flick input in the left and right direction. The user can accurately recognize an erroneous operation such as being detected as a flick input in the vertical direction due to an erroneous detection of the reception unit 11 or the like.
　また、本実施形態においては、ページをめくる際の経過の表示として、図９、図１０に示したように、表示中のページが画面外へとスクロールしていき、移動先のページが画面外からスクロールしてくる、といった構成を示したが、本発明はこれに限るものではない。例えば、紙をめくるようなアニメーションによる表示など、種々の方法によって、ユーザへとページをめくる際の経過の表示を行うことができる。 Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, as the display of the progress when turning the page, the displayed page scrolls off the screen, and the destination page is off the screen. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the progress of turning the page to the user can be displayed by various methods such as display by animation such as turning paper.
　なお、左右方向のページ移動、上下方向のページ移動共に、コンテンツ中の最初のページ、あるいは最後のページを表示している状態で、最初のページから前のページへ、あるいは最後のページから次のページへと移動する方向のページ移動指示が入力された場合には、アニメーション表示や文字表示などの任意の方法によって、ユーザへと移動先とするページが存在しないことを通知した上で、ステップＳ１２に戻り、再びユーザからのページ移動指示の入力を受け付ける構成とすることが好ましい。 Note that both the page movement in the left and right direction and the page movement in the up and down direction are displayed from the first page to the previous page or from the last page to the next page with the first or last page in the content displayed. When a page movement instruction in the direction of moving to the page is input, the user is notified that there is no page to move to by any method such as animation display or character display, and then step S12. It is preferable to return to the above and accept the input of the page movement instruction from the user again.
　そして、ステップＳ１２において、予め決定された任意の操作によってユーザが表示中のコンテンツを閉じるための入力を行った場合には、ステップＳ１７に進み、表示中のコンテンツを閉じ、コンテンツ表示装置１によるコンテンツの表示は終了する。 In step S12, when the user performs an input for closing the displayed content by an arbitrary operation, the process proceeds to step S17, the displayed content is closed, and the content displayed by the content display device 1 is displayed. The display of is terminated.
　以上のように、予め左右方向のページ情報配列と上下方向のページ情報配列の２つのページ情報配列を生成し、ページ情報一時記憶部１５上に記録した後、ユーザのページ移動指示の入力に基づいて、左右方向のページ情報配列中における表示中のページの位置情報の更新と、上下方向のページ情報配列中における表示中のページの位置情報の更新を、それらの間の整合性を保ちながら行うことによって、ページ情報一時記憶部１５の使用容量を抑えながらも、高速なページ移動処理を実現することができる。 As described above, after generating two page information arrays of the page information array in the horizontal direction and the page information array in the vertical direction in advance and recording them on the page information temporary storage unit 15, based on the input of the user's page movement instruction The position information of the currently displayed page in the page information array in the left-right direction is updated and the position information of the page being displayed in the page information array in the vertical direction is updated while maintaining consistency between them. As a result, it is possible to realize high-speed page movement processing while suppressing the used capacity of the page information temporary storage unit 15.
　なお、本実施形態においては、ステップＳ１１の初期ページの表示処理が終了後にステップＳ１２へと進み、ページ移動指示の入力を受け付ける構成としているが、ステップＳ１１の初期ページの表示処理と並行して、ページ移動指示の割り込み入力を受け付け可能な構成としてもよい。ページ移動指示の割り込み入力を受け付けた場合には、初期ページの表示処理における、左右方向及び上下方向のページ情報配列の生成処理と並行して、ページの移動処理を行う。 In the present embodiment, after the initial page display process in step S11 is completed, the process proceeds to step S12 and accepts an input of a page movement instruction. In parallel with the initial page display process in step S11, It may be configured to accept an interrupt input of a page movement instruction. When an interrupt input for a page movement instruction is received, a page movement process is performed in parallel with the generation process of the page information array in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction in the initial page display process.
　このような構成とすれば、ページ情報一時記憶部１５の保持するページ情報の更新作業が完了するまでの処理時間よりも、ユーザが次のページ移動操作を行うまでの時間が短い場合においても、ユーザは次々にページ移動を行うことができる。この際に、左右方向及び／又は上下方向のページ情報配列の生成処理が完了していない場合でも、左右方向における位置情報、及び上下方向における位置情報の更新処理を行っておけば、各ページ情報配列の生成完了時に、左右方向及び上下方向の位置情報の整合性を保った状態でページの表示を行うことができる。 With such a configuration, even when the time until the user performs the next page movement operation is shorter than the processing time until the update operation of the page information held in the page information temporary storage unit 15 is completed, The user can move pages one after another. At this time, even if the generation process of the page information array in the horizontal direction and / or the vertical direction is not completed, if the position information in the horizontal direction and the position information in the vertical direction are updated, each page information When the generation of the array is completed, the page can be displayed in a state where the consistency of the position information in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction is maintained.
　また、図５のステップＳ２１、Ｓ２２、Ｓ２４、Ｓ２５における、左右方向及び上下方向のページ情報配列の生成及び位置情報の設定作業は、説明の簡単のために左右方向における処理と上下方向における処理とを順に行う構成としたが、ページ情報配列の生成処理、及び位置情報の設定処理は、このような順序に限るものではない。 Further, in the steps S21, S22, S24, and S25 of FIG. 5, the horizontal and vertical page information array generation and position information setting operations are performed in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction for the sake of simplicity of explanation. However, the page information array generation process and the position information setting process are not limited to this order.
　例えば、表示するページに隣接するページ情報を優先的に読み込めば、先述したようにページ移動指示の割り込み入力を受け付け可能な構成とした場合にも、隣接するページの表示を高速に行うことができる。 For example, if the page information adjacent to the page to be displayed is preferentially read, the adjacent page can be displayed at a high speed even when the interrupt input of the page movement instruction is accepted as described above. .
　また、初期ページの表示処理において、上下方向についてのページ情報配列の生成（ステップＳ２４）と位置情報の設定（ステップＳ２５）を先に行い、上下方向のページ情報配列より初期ページを特定して表示する構成としてもよいし、左右方向及び上下方向についてのページ情報配列の生成処理を並列して実行する構成や、初期ページのみを優先して読み込むような構成としてもよい。 Further, in the initial page display process, the generation of page information array in the vertical direction (step S24) and the setting of position information (step S25) are performed first, and the initial page is specified and displayed from the page information array in the vertical direction. A configuration in which page information array generation processing in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction is executed in parallel, or a configuration in which only the initial page is preferentially read may be used.
　なお、本実施形態においては、図２及び図３に示すように、表示中のページを含む行及び列の全ページ情報を備えるページ情報配列をページ情報一時記憶部１５へ保持させる構成としているが、任意の数のページのみを備えるページ情報配列をページ情報一時記憶部１５へ保持させる構成としてもよい。 In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the page information temporary storage unit 15 is configured to hold a page information array including all page information of rows and columns including the displayed page. The page information temporary storage unit 15 may be configured to hold a page information array including only an arbitrary number of pages.
　例えば、図６において一点鎖線で示す領域Ｃに囲まれる領域中のページ情報、すなわち、表示中のページの上下左右に隣接する１ページずつのページ情報のみをページ情報一時記憶部１５へ保持させる構成としてもよい。このような構成とした場合には、ステップＳ１３からＳ１６におけるページ移動処理において、左右方向及び上下方向の各ページ情報配列中における位置情報の更新に加え、各ページ配列中に含まれるページ情報自体の更新処理も必要となるが、ページ情報一時記憶部１５の使用容量をより小さくすることができる。これは特に、ページ数が多く、全てのページ情報をページ情報一時記憶部１５へと展開するために大きな容量が必要となるコンテンツなどにおいて有効である。 For example, the page information temporary storage unit 15 holds only page information in a region surrounded by a region C indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG. It is good. In such a configuration, in the page movement process in steps S13 to S16, in addition to updating the position information in each page information array in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, the page information itself included in each page array is updated. Although an update process is also required, the used capacity of the page information temporary storage unit 15 can be further reduced. This is particularly effective for contents that require a large capacity in order to expand all the page information to the page information temporary storage unit 15 because the number of pages is large.
　このように、ページ情報一時記憶部１５へ保持させるページ情報の量を制限することにより、コンテンツ表示装置１の演算装置の処理能力や、主記憶装置の容量、補助記憶装置の入出力速度、あるいは表示対象とするコンテンツの総ページ数など、様々な要因を加味した調整を行うことができる。 In this way, by limiting the amount of page information held in the page information temporary storage unit 15, the processing capacity of the arithmetic unit of the content display device 1, the capacity of the main storage device, the input / output speed of the auxiliary storage device, or Adjustments that take into account various factors such as the total number of pages of content to be displayed can be made.
　更に、ページ情報一時記憶部１５へ保持させるページ情報の量をユーザによって設定可能な構成としてもよい。このような構成とすれば、各ユーザの使用の形態に合わせた設定を行うことができる。 Furthermore, the amount of page information stored in the page information temporary storage unit 15 may be set by the user. With such a configuration, it is possible to perform settings according to the usage form of each user.
　コンテンツ表示装置１によって表示するコンテンツ中の各ページの内容は任意である。例えば、画像データや文字データ、ベクタデータ、そのような各種の形式のデータの組み合わせなどが挙げられる。文字データやベクタデータのように、そのままでは出力装置により画像として出力することが不可能な形式のデータである場合には、ページ情報管理手段１２によって左右方向及び上下方向のページ情報配列を生成する際に変換処理を行い、ページ情報一時記憶部１５へ画像の状態で記録することが好ましい。このように、ページ情報一時記憶部１５が変換済みの画像を保持する構成とすれば、ページ表示手段１３がページ情報一時記憶部１５の保持するページ情報を表示する処理を高速に実行することができる。 The content of each page in the content displayed by the content display device 1 is arbitrary. For example, image data, character data, vector data, a combination of such various types of data, and the like can be given. If the data is in a format that cannot be output as an image by the output device as it is, such as character data or vector data, the page information management unit 12 generates page information arrays in the horizontal and vertical directions. At this time, it is preferable to perform conversion processing and record the image in the page information temporary storage unit 15 in the form of an image. As described above, when the page information temporary storage unit 15 is configured to hold the converted image, the page display unit 13 can execute the process of displaying the page information held in the page information temporary storage unit 15 at high speed. it can.
　ただし、コンテンツ中の各ページは画像データであることが好ましい。このような構成であれば、先述したような変換処理を行わずとも、ページ情報一時記憶部１５へと画像データを記録することができ、高速な動作が期待できる。 However, each page in the content is preferably image data. With such a configuration, image data can be recorded in the page information temporary storage unit 15 without performing the conversion processing as described above, and high-speed operation can be expected.
